川普加征印度50%关税
作者：微信文章Donald Trump followed through on his threat to impose a 50% tariff on most goods arriving to America from India. The president imposed levies of 25% earlier this month, but has doubled the rate in an attempt to punish India for buying Russian oil. The White House has argued that these purchases are helping fund Russia’s war in Ukraine.SpaceX’s Starship, the world’s largest and most powerful rocket, made it up to space and back down to Earth during its tenth test flight. The largely successful mission is a boost for Elon Musk, SpaceX’s boss. The previous three tests of the Starship launch system all failed to meet their intended goals. One blew up on the ground in June.Denmark summoned America’s top diplomat in the country after reports that American citizens linked to Donald Trump had tried to build networks in Greenland to influence its politics. Denmark’s intelligence service warned of campaigns aimed at dividing Denmark and Greenland, a self-governing island that is part of Denmark. It is the second time this year that Denmark has called in a senior American envoy.中文简译唐纳德·特朗普兑现了威胁，将对来自印度的大部分商品的关税从25%提高到50%。白宫称，印度购买俄罗斯石油正在资助俄乌战争。与此同时，SpaceX的“星舰”在第十次试飞中顺利进入太空并返回地球，取得重大进展。丹麦则召见美国驻该国最高外交官，因有报道称与特朗普有关的美国公民试图在格陵兰建立政治影响网络，这是丹麦今年第二次提出外交抗议。Vocabulary
